Wine is making as strong of a comeback as ever. The martini fad comes and goes but wine is here forever. A great way to celebrate something like that great Key West home you just bought from me is with a nice bottle of wine and dinner. Let's spend a day looking at Key West homes for sale and I'll show you some of the island's best wine bars. There are far too many to mention so I'll just cover a few I like.
Vinos on Duval
810 Duval St., Key West
A classy wine bar with a patio and an extensive international wine list, Vinos on Duval is the choice to people-watch with friends. The quaint and cozy decor creates a chilled atmosphere that’s perfect to linger over a glass of wine paired with appetizers, cheese trays or desserts.
Nine One Five and Point 5
915 Duval St., Key West
If splurging on food and wine is your thing, this restaurant & wine bar is right down your alley. Set in a Victorian house, downstairs you will find the Nine One Five restaurant serving highly rated world cuisine. Head upstairs to Point5 wine lounge and tapas bar to indulge in the extensive drinks menu, ranging from craft cocktails and beers to any wine you can imagine.
Grand Vin Wine Bar
1107 Duval St., Key West
Another Duval Street favorite! The welcoming and relaxed atmosphere of Grand Vin is in sync with Key West. Make sure you get a table on the porch – sit back and watch the world go by. The cheese platters, wine tastings and local vibe will make you want to come back again and again.
ViV Wine and Cheese Bar
300 Petronia St #2, Key
West
A taste of France just a stone’s throw from Cuba is only possible in Key West. ViV Wine & Cheese Bar is a staple for those looking to take their wine experience to the next level while enjoying a genuine European ambiance. The classic French wine bar is the ideal spot to try hard-to-find wines paired with excellent cheese, charcuterie, tartines and homemade French bread.
2 Cents *My personal favorite.
416 Appelrouth Lane, Key
West
This
fun and eclectic restaurant & bar combines delectable dishes with an ever-changing
wine list. Bring your own fish and be ready to be wowed by the end result. If
you are in the mood to mix drinks, their specialty cocktails and beers offer
great alternatives. Calling all Happy-Hour-goers – don’t miss the Bacon Happy
Hour and, to top it all off, roll the dice to get the price of your drink!
There
you have it, a list of great wine bars in Key West. Any of them would be the
perfect place to celebrate closing on your new home in Key West that you just
bought from me. Let's go home shopping.
